Why was Victoria way more upset about Rey Rey's death than Sharon was?

Sharin never loved Rey. She’s just doing the expected performance for Nick. In a scene that was edited out, she went into the bathroom and…Dancing Queen Reaction GIF by Soul Train

What is so stupid about the scene with Chance 2.0 and Connor talking hockey?  Answer:  Being Rey’s partner wouldn’t Chance 2.0 know if he was on police business?  

Did TIIC hate Rey that much that they killed him off and being blamed for the accident.  Could TIIC at least kill Rey off in the hospital with love ones by his side. Once again Rey is a trained driver and swerving to cross a centerline is very unlikely even to avoid something in the road. If Olive could see his headlights than rest assured, Rey saw Olives headlights. An expensive car like Olive’s probably also has fog lights. Not only that but Poppin Fresh was behind Olive and he could see the car approaching.  It was an accident but Olive driving distracted was one of the cause for the accident. 

Is it my imagination or does Poppin Fresh’s hair starting to look more blonde than gray. If your going to get help Poppin Fresh , than go get help and stop standing around with your thumb up your ass professing your love for Olive. What a schmuck!  

More dumb ass writing by the monkeys with a typewrite. Nikki finds Olive before the police but Banana Breath was at the accident scene and didn’t even try to look for Olive. 

Sharon 😭😭😭😭. So very sad!

Yeah, I've noticed EB is always seated. I figure he must have some serious joint injuries from all that soccer. I can make allowances for that, but I just wish he'd at least make an attempt to annunciate. I can't watch his scenes without closed captioning.

I also have trouble with his expressing himself and also have to turn on the CC. It also helps me identify  which blonde is speaking!

Finally, caught up on the last two episodes. Sharon Case did a great job of sorta knowing but didn’t want Nick to tell her it was true. Although, GV sure got the shaft. He didn’t even get the obligatory shot of him in the car……dead. I guess since Robert Newman signed a long term-short contract they need to rebuild him home what. I hope he never gets back with Victoria but maybe he can annoy Victor and Adam with “their” money. Now, the question is where does this leave Sharon & Chelsea romantically?! Adam has his hands full with Sally which I actually like. Nick would be too boring and obvious. Time will tell I guess.

I'd forgotten about the wedding.  What a crappy thing for the writers to do to Mariah and Tessa.  Couldn't they have waited until after May 13th to do this?  They've dragged this Ashland story out this long, what's a few more weeks?

I think Victoria was so concerned about Rey because she thinks she may be responsible.

To continue the Genoa City Car Accident Tally, wasn't Sabrina also killed in one?

Sharon has always had Front Burner status until the last 6 months or so. Now what?Putting her back with Nick is probable; putting her back with Adam could also be likely. Both would be boring; plus Adam has sort-of moved on. I would dread any “poor, pulled apart lovers” with that storyline. Ashland may be available (although Chelsea is more in his wheelhouse). Ray was a needed demographic; he was competition, age-wise with Nick and Adam. Potential love interest for Sharon, Chelsea, Sally, Victoria, Phyllis, even Abby. Jack is way too sad and droopy right now. I would eliminate some couplings due to being possibly related; but that would be exhausting.

Please tell me Grampire and Drinkki have a driver. The fog is so bad out there it caused a 3 vehicle accident. Nick found the wreckage before the first responders. And Grampire and Drinkki decide to drive out there? And they find Bud and Mop before anyone else? Their driver dropped them off at the door, right?

Shit.

I do have to say that I was surprised to see RN actually acting today. But I couldn't really believe him. He has not been a good fit in the role and it just seemed so out of the blue that he came alive today. Too bad that every time he talks to mop he sounds like he's talking to a child, and the two of them look at each other with repulsion in their eyes. Otherwise he might have been believable. Well, aside from the absurdity of the entire situation.

Yes, along with David "Dogvomit*" Chow. Also, John Abbot got into a car accident after accidentally shooting Terrible Tom dead. Maybe we should just try to figure out which character on the show didn't have a car accident.

Well damn....that was a crummier send off than what Finn got on B&B, and you haven't seen a nothing burger waste of a character until you've seen John Finnegan, makes Rey look like well rounded character, like Jack or Ashley's level of well rounded. But at least Sharon Case actually convinced me she was devastated & grieving for her hubby's death(until she hugged Banana Breath). Far more effort than JMW gave with Steffy IMO. 

So Ashland will be the new Teflon coated character? All because he didn't let someone burn to death this time? Great.....😒

Still not fan of Victoria but if she's found at fault she might feel enough guilt/shame to run back to Pillsbury and I don't want that. So I hope it's just ruled as an accident if nothing else.

The biggest tragedy of all is that Chelsea wasn't in the car too.😞 So we'll have to deal with her annoying gasping when she finds out about Rey.

I thought the same thing, but then I realized she would have to emerge unscathed from an accident like that.

The air bags would have saved her, no doubt about it.

Sharon Case was really good today.  She conveyed her grief, her loss in such a heartfelt way that I've got no snarks to give for anything she did today.  Even her conversation with Chelsea had some nuance to it.  Our old colleague Valleycliffe would have really loved today's episode.  Nobody was a bigger Sharon Case fan than her.

Well done.

Josh Morrow had his moments, but I can't help but think that if he'd just do something about his apparent heavy case of jock itch, he'd do much better.  He walks like  he has explosives taped to his inner thighs and if he accidentally rubbed them together, Ka BLAM!

Poor Ashland was apparently so badly injured that he even forgot once which leg was the one that was hurt.  I hope he's better and back in his suit coat soon!

I see no reason that Victor couldn't have gotten his molten chocolate cake to go.  We know Society does take out.

I feel for Victoria.  She's never going to get those white jeans clean again, never.  Would anyone, especially her, drink an old bottle of water found in that cabin?  Now, if Ashland had found some molten chocolate cake, that'd be a different story.

There was more than one tragedy in Genoa City today.

Thanks for the excellent post Boes and the lovely mention of valleycliffe. She would have loved all of these Sharon scenes. 

Anyone else thinking there is something hinky  about Ashland’s story about the accident? As others have said, Rey was trained driver and the story of him driving down the road erratically just doesn’t make sense.

Yeah. He had a stressful job, unpredictable hours, drank a lot of coffee, and Sharon was rambling on about all the high cholesterol.stuff she was baking for him before Nick broke the news. His aorta probably blew like out like a Firestone 500 tire. Maybe Sharon will go back to college to study nutrition?

Sharon or Nick hadn't called Rey's family yet? What if the Rosales had heard about his death on the news, or someone from the GCPD had already called them to offer condolences? They'd wonder why Sharon hadn't contacted them immediately.

How many times will we have to watch the flashback of Ashland playing hero for Victoria? This m.f.-er is getting a redemption arc, isn't he? 😠😠😠

So the $500M deal with Locke didn't include a requirement for him to GTFO of GC. Sigh, he's still going to be in the Newmans' faces, waving fistfuls of their payoff money at them.

Of course Mama Celeste wants Rey's body sent back to Miami for the funeral. TPTB aren't going to pay to have the actors who played Celeste, Lola, and Arturo return to GC even for one episode. Sasha Calle probably would've laughed in their faces if they even asked. She's about to be a major player in the DC movie universe as Supergirl.

Heh, MCE can't fake cry to save her life either. I miss the good old days when they'd put drops of saline solution in the actors' eyes so they could at least look like they were actually producing tears.

Yeah no, Sharon, you're not going to fight Rey's family for custody of his corpse. You were only close to him for a couple of years. It'll be a cruel and selfish look if you insist on getting your way.

Either Victoria is still in shock or her inner Ice Queen has switched into overdrive. I'm thinking she should be somewhere resting and letting her body heal instead of trying to keep Adam out of her CEO chair.

Re the previews for next week:
Jack: it's about Diane Jenkins. Nikki, I'm sorry but she's alive and well, and living in Genoa City.
Nikki: okay, I got this. Where's my Glock? Darn, I bet I left it in my other bag. Let me call Victor. He's probably got his Luger handy.
Jack: <gulp>

My wife past away 3 weeks before our daughter’s wedding but it went on anyway. Her mother was there is spirit by having a place setting at the Dais and the immediate family all wore buttons with her face.  Prior to that day, in the hospital, over the last few days, she dictated her speech to them and made me promise to read it at the wedding if she couldn’t make it.  Even on her death bed, which we didn’t know for sure at that time, she made us swear the wedding would go on no matter what. 

That is so sweet. What a loving legacy.

I heard Sharon say that Rey Rey saved a duckling.  Funny, I don't remember any storyline where he saved Dummer.  Does anyone else?  

At least Mariah and Tessa have a theme for their wedding!

I think Rey Rey should be buried next to Chelsea.  Yes, I know she's still alive.......

I think it's time for Nikki to give Victoria a good tongue-lashing.  She's always so rude to Nikki and too bad she's so butt hurt.  Her family are all a bunch of nemotodes, that's for sure, but she's no better.  She's all worked up because she chooses bad men, well, guess what, Vic, you do.  No argument at all.  Anyone idiotic enough to marry ButtBiscuit not once, but twice, and THEN later, do a recommitment ceremony should really consider another commitment ceremony, this time to place called Happy Dale.

She's been giving the Wicked Witch of West a run for her money in dour for quite a while now.  Give it a rest.

Nice to see Ashland slipped into his lounging-after-a-fire checkered suit jacket in his suite at the Glandular Pickle.  Oh, look, it's room service and it's delivered a huge helping of his worst nightmare.

I can't believe Victor referenced his crack team of toughs when Ashland asked how he knew where he was.  These are the same people who Ashland outwitted last night.  Unless one of Victor's requirements for his security team is that no hire can be smarter than Nick, I don't understand why they're always so inept.

Connor is getting tall.  Soon he'll be tall enough to lock his mother in the garage with Christian, too.  They all grow up so fast........

It's pretty wild, with all the laughable acting SC has done for a while now (and not just in unimportant scenes), that she really can still bring it in these types of stories.   You get the uncomfortable sense you're watching someone grieving or in a lot of stress, and those are scenes super easy to come off insincere or ridiculous.  

Did Noah put on, like, 20 pounds of muscle in the last few weeks?  That's...a little sus.   Good acting by him today, though.  It was that understated reaction of someone grieving FOR someone else who just lost someone. 

I think like everyone else, I call bullshit on the Rey driving erratically thing.  Whatever the guy's flaws were, the dude was legit in tense situations like that.   Seriously, how is wild eyed melting ice queen Victoria not the clear culprit here?

If Ashland has to stick around, they need to just run with the theme of befuddled guy who stumbles his way through random luck and happenstance, bc that's all I can see with this version of the character.  

 Back to Diane's story next week.  Which of course, by Diane, I mean Phyllis's.

I know most of you guys seem to feel this way, but not me. I think Nick did not come across as strong and stoic, (I'm guessing that's what JM was going for), I thought he was stiff and robotic. His emotionless speaking just had me thinking, why is he talking like that? Like he was on a dry run through a script. And I'm sorry but SC has gone into Hunter Tylo territory. I keep looking at her face and thinking, why has she done that to herself? She used to be so pretty. All of the weird things she has done to her face have turned it into the deadpan mask of an unattractive man. I could tell that she was doing her best, but her face, it betrayed her, it was like JM's speech, void, only not as an acting choice like his seemed to be. I did cry during SC's scenes, but only because I know loss. The standouts for me were Mariah, Tessa a bit, and oddly, Conner. He seemed to be dialing back on the creepiness. I hope he can keep getting less creepy, despite the scripts they write for him, as I doubt they'll SORAS him since that would age Gaspy McTalksTooFast. And I did appreciate Adam's serious and strong matter-of-factness in delivering the bad news. It was very Victor. I am disappointed that Nikki hasn't been to see Sharin' and Faith. Of course Victoria is Nikki's number one concern, but she knew Victoria was doing physically well before the paramedics did. I would think that she would have shown up at Sharin's by now.

This made me laugh and made my day. The visuals. Sharon could come visit in widow’s weeds, long black veil. 
SweePea - you said what I didn’t have the nerve to say about Sharon’s face. It isn’t that she is not attractive; but she is uncomfortable to look at. Not ugly, not really unattractive. Just off putting; and not someone I want to watch in a sad/lovelorn/romantic role. I hate that sounds so harsh. But….to me, she has not topped the actress who plays Steffy on Bold and Beautiful. It is shocking to me how plastic that poor young women looks. Plus the terrible hair. Sharon looks soft and almost ingenue-ish next to her.
